PSA: The police officer who introduced himself on the network seems legit. He has no animal scent to him, like the detective does. He may be an asset, if we need information from inside the police corps.

[And that is all. Lyall is busy with other things at the moment, such as tracking supposed werewolves....]

[a pause. She's started not wanting to tell people about hers... and yeah...]

Look, I'm starting to think maybe these visions are just nonsense. All the once I've gotten just plain don't make any sense.

Just don't turn out to be whatever's infecting the Dead District, ok? Maybe it's related to that.

[professorwolf]

The odd thing is, aside from this one, all of mine have been remarkably internally consistent, for lack of a better word. I'm gathering it comes from London, during potentially queen Victiria's reign, and I believe whoever I'm seeing is involved in some kind of investigative branch of the government? It's very strange.

But I can assure you I'm not connected to the "werewolf" problem. No missing time, and I smell completely differently from those things.

[Which, of course, means he's got their scent. Somehow.]

*Victoria's reign

come on man

ANYWAY, that's good to know at least. But weird. Mine haven't been consistent at all.

[professorwolf]

Sorry. I'm a little busy, really. Expect typos :P

What have yours been? I know about the one from the statue, but not many others. If you feel comfortable sharing, that is.

[reapsthewind]

A boring lecture. An alien sky. No connection between the two.

[professorwolf]

The lecture on that energy thing you mentioned. Those were your only two? Them and your eyes. My first two didn't make sense on their own, either, I think. They still don't make a LOT of sense, they're just consistent. Maybe you need more. No data source can make much sense with only two or three data points.

[She replies to this later, after she's played the DnD game. MUCH later.]

haha oh man

so

i got a third

i was randomly in a medieval castle only I was huge for some reason, and I took over it with some other jackholes who were pretty incompetent by melting down the castle treasure to make an electric generator and then using bird poop to make gunpowder

Nothing makes sense.

[It takes him a while to reply, himself, since he hadn't actually been at his computer. And then he has to puzzle that out, and try to make sense of it, himself. Finally:]

You're right. That doesn't make sense at all. How could you even make gunpowder from bird poop to begin with?

[Text]

[reapsthewind]

Actually, THAT part makes sense. Bird poop is an excellent source of nitrates. You need to know how to refine it, of course... after that you need charcoal and sulfur.

So that was probably the least unrealistic part of the... whatever that was.

What kind of biology teacher am I that I didn't know that :P All right, the castle is a bit odd. And I'm sure there had to be some useful metal in the treasury for building a weapon.

The castle seems the strangest bit.

Re: [Text]

[reapsthewind]

Yeah. Well, that and like, everything was tiny. I mean me and my companions doing the conquering? We were normal sized, except for this one short asshole, but everyone else like... they didn't even come up to my knees.

[professorwolf]

All right, that's pretty strange, too. Did you get a look at yourself and your companions at all? Were you giants or maybe dragons?

[Either, of course, would explain the size. And the castle, for that matter.]

[reapsthewind]

... not... really? There WAS a dragon though, at the very end. We were about the same size as it, but the thing surprised us, it was terrifying. This human wizard guy scared it off, though.

[professorwolf]

I don't have any idea what to make of that. Though I suppose given I've seen intelligent wolves and ghosts both, I shouldn't rule out dragons or giants, either. This just gets more and more confusing.

[reapsthewind]

Yeah, just a bit.
